Last week we talked all about finding the right eyeshadow for brown eyes, and this week it’s the turn of the blue eyed babes! We often find ourselves reaching for the same eyeshadow shades day in, day out. They might be tried and tested, but take a look at what we recommend for blue eyes to really emphasise your peepers!

If you’ve been graced by the eye gods with blue eyes, you’re in luck as it can be really easy to make your eyes pop. To put it really simply, when you take a look at a colour wheel, the colour theory says that any colours opposite one another are complimentary. Using this theory, orange and earth tones will work wonders for anything from deep sea blues to icy grey-toned blues. We also recommend dusty pinks and hazy purples!

5 Must Have Eyeshadow’s For Blue Eyed Babes

This palette was originally created to flatter those with dark blonde to medium brown hair, but we are in love with the warm earthy tones it contains! The eyeshadow from HD Brows is highly pigmented and come in matte and satin textures, allowing you to create more depth to your look. For those blue eyed gals among us, we suggest a graduated smoky eye with this palette, pulling down the shade Bronze under the lower lash line too to add a little more intensity and drama!

Get rosy with these three beautiful shades from Dr. Hauschka, perfect for creating a subtle daytime smoky eye. With a handy dual ended applicator wand, this compact little palette is also perfect for building up a subtle daytime smoky eye into an evening eye later in the day!

Go for hazy purple eyeshadow to help add emphasis to your blue hues with the Pixi Mesmerising Mineral Palette in Amethyst Aura. With six shades of jewel purples and dusty pinks, this palette is ideal whether you want to create a subtle look or something a little brighter and more daring. What could possibly make these eyeshadows even better? They are formulated with light-reflecting minerals and nourishing vitamin E which helps to protect the skin around the eye. Winner!

For a quick eyeshadow fix on a busy morning or when you’re in a rush, the Pixi Lid Last Shadow Pen is a must! Simply sweep this pale pink tone across your lids and blend out with your ring finger. Voila, effortless eye popping makeup in one quick and easy step!

Strictly speaking, this one is actually a blush, but there’s nothing we love more than a good multi-tasking product! These bad boys are super pigmented already, but for an even stronger colour you can wet your brush to apply the product – that’s where the name‘Dual Intensity’ comes from! We love this fiery orange tone to accentuate blue eyes, and the lighter golden shade is perfect as a brow bone and inner corner highlight!

I'm often referred to as 'the nail girl' because I love nail art - I have over 200 bottles of nail polish at home! But I love all things beauty; especially anything neon bright or packed with glitter. Growing up, I was a bit of a nerdy kid, so playing with colourful makeup or wacky hairstyles became my creative outlet - so it's great that this has become my job!
